Mammer Quotes Alter Rebbe

There is the love for God that Tzaddikim have, that is so real and so part of their soul that they need not even think about it – then there is the average person that though s/he may access this love in their hearts’ during prayer, after, it gets lots in the foolish pursuits – for this love is not truly true – something that is truly true never leaves – and the mechanism for this love to become like a Tzaddik’s love, to permeate to their inner core is through removing the barrier – the barrier of-course is the fact, that all human love stems and is connected to their ego – so as this love connects to their ego, as the ego finds other desires, the loves takes a back seat – however by when one humbles and humiliates themselves to themselves – by removing their ego, this love like a fiery flame becomes their essence and hence their persona.
